The Impact of Donor Risk Index, Recipients’ and Operative Characteristics on Po...
Cardoso, FS; Bagulho, L; Coelho, JS; Lamelas, J; Mateus, E; Mendes, M; Glória, H; Ribeiro, V; Mega, R; Pena, A; Pinto Marques, H; Germano, N; Nolasco, FBackground and Aims: The donor risk index (DRI) quantifies donor-related characteristics potentially associated with increased risk of early graft failure. We aimed to assess the impact of the DRI, recipient and perioperative factors on post liver transplant (LT) outcomes. Methods: This was a singlecenter retrospective cohort study including all adult (≥18 years) patients who underwent LT from 01/2019 to 12/201...
Alcohol Consumption Post-Liver Transplantation: a Cross-Sectional Study
Chálim Rebelo, C; Félix, C; Sousa Cardoso, F; Bagulho, L; Sousa, M; Mendes, M; Glória, H; Mateus, É; Mega, I; Jara, M; Pinto Marques, H; Nolasco, FBackground: Listing patients with alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) for liver transplant (LT) remains challenging especially due to the risk of alcohol resumption post-LT. We aimed to evaluate post-LT alcohol consumption at a Portuguese transplant center. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study including LT recipients from 2019 at Curry Cabral Hospital, Lisbon, Portugal. A pretested survey and a vali...
Improvement of Mineral and Bone Disorders After Renal Transplantation
Ferreira, AC; Mendes, M; Silva, C; Cotovio, P; Aires, I; Navarro, D; Caeiro, F; Ramos, R; Salvador, R; Correia, B; Cabral, G; Nolasco, F; Ferreira, ABackground: Posttransplant mineral and bone diseases are causes of fractures, and their association with cardiovascular events is being studied. Methods: We analyzed the evolution of biochemical, histological, and imaging parameters pre- and 1 y post-renal transplantation in 69 patients and correlated mineral and bone findings with coronary calcifications. At inclusion and after 12 mo, clinical data and echocar...
Bone Densitometry Versus Bone Histomorphometry in Renal Transplanted Patients: ...
Ferreira, AC; Mendes, M; Silva, C; Cotovio, P; Aires, I; Navarro, D; Caeiro, F; Salvador, R; Correia, B; Cabral, G; Nolasco, F; Ferreira, ABone loss leads to increase risk of fractures in renal transplantation. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between bone densitometry (DXA) findings, bone histomorphometry and bone-related molecules 1-year after renal transplantation. We performed a cross-sectional study of de novo renal transplanted patients that agreed to perform a bone biopsy and a DXA examination 1 year after transplantati...
The Role of Bone Volume, FGF23 and Sclerostin in Calcifications and Mortality; ...
Ferreira, AC; Cotovio, P; Aires, I; Mendes, M; Navarro, D; Silva, C; Caeiro, F; Salvador, R; Correia, B; Cabral, G; Nolasco, F; Ferreira, AChronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder has been associated with increasing morbid-mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and phenotype of bone disease before transplantation and to correlate FGF23 and sclerostin levels with bone histomorphometry, and study possible associations between FGF23, sclerostin, and bone histomorphometry with cardiovascular disease and mortality. We ...
Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators in Trials of Drug Therapy for Heart Fai...
Gama, F; Ferreira, J; Carmo, J; Costa, FM; Carvalho, S; Carmo, P; Cavaco, D; Morgado, FB; Adragão, P; Mendes, MBACKGROUND Medical therapy for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction evolved since trials validated the use of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). We sought to evaluate the performance of ICDs in reducing mortality in the era of modern medical therapy by means of a systematic review and meta-analysis of contemporary randomized clinical trials of drug therapy for heart failure with reduced eje...

Documento de Consenso e Recomendações para a Realização de Ecocardiografia Tran...
Sampaio, F; Ribeiras, R; Galrinho, A; Teixeira, R; João, I; Trabulo, M; Quelhas, I; Cabral, S; Ribeiro, J; Mendes, M; Morais, JEchocardiography is the most widely used imaging technique in modern cardiological clinical practice, since it is readily available, portable and safe, and provides a comprehensive morphological and functional assessment at low cost compared to other imaging modalities. Recent technological advances have introduced new echocardiographic techniques and widened the clinical applications of echocardiography. Howev...
Mandatory Criteria for Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs: 2018 Guidelines from th...
Abreu, A; Mendes, M; Dores, H; Silveira, C; Fontes, P; Teixeira, M; Santa Clara, H; Morais, JCardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a multidisciplinary process for patients recovering after an acute cardiac event or with chronic cardiovascular disease that reduces mortality and morbidity and improves quality of life. It is considered a cost-effective intervention and is expressly indicated in the guidelines of the major medical societies. In Portugal, only 8% of patients discharged from hospital after myocardi...
